Horatio Fields Catching Attention at Ole Miss Fall Camp
Fri., Aug. 14 · last 48 hours. The Wake Forest-and-Auburn transfer has become one of camp’s fastest-rising names. At 6-2, 210, Fields gives Trinidad Chambliss the big-bodied, catch-in-traffic target the Rebels needed, and he’s building the kind of chemistry that could earn a Week 1 starting job. A name Ole Miss fans should learn fast. (Last Word on Sports)
Football Practice Report: Rebels Put on Full Pads
Wed., Aug. 12. The pads came on and the tight ends stole the show. Caleb Odom is settling into a full-time role alongside Luke Hasz in heavier 12- and 13-personnel looks, Terez Davis is anchoring left tackle, and Makhi Frazier is embracing his complement-to-Kewan-Lacy job in the backfield. Plenty of trust still being earned. (Ole Miss Athletics)

Ole Miss Fall Camp Kicks Off With a Few Questions
Mon., Aug. 10. Three early questions frame the Rebels’ camp: whether to risk Doak Walker favorite Kewan Lacy as a punt returner, how the right tackle battle between Carius Curne and Tommy Kinsler IV shakes out, and how quickly Chambliss builds rapport with a rebuilt receiver room. Typical August — all answerable. (Last Word on Sports)

Mon., Aug. 10. The Lake Cormorant product credits associate head coach Randall Joyner — who recruited him at 15 — for his development, and points to fellow Mississippians Will Echoles and Suntarine Perkins as the defense’s standard-setters.
